/''festival of Christmas
S^ celebrated the season
with a theme of "Jesus Christ:
Light Eternal," Nov. 30 - Dec.
2. Over 250 of Bethel's finest
musicians joined together in
four performances for over
5,500 people.
The theme this year was a
follow-up of last year's Festival. In 1999, the focus was
"Gloria." Its finale piece,
"Arise, Your Light Has Come,"
had such an incredible response
that it was made the driving
theme for Ihis year.
The performance commenced with the traditional
candle-lit processional, which
added to the significance of this
year's theme.
With candles providing the
only light in the hall, the choir
began the concert with "O Light
Everlasting."
The first section, Light Eternal: From the Creation of the
World, developed out of the
darkness, emphasizing God's
command, "Let there be light."
Slides of art from the Sistine
Chapel further highlighted the
theme as the narrator retold the
creation story'- The centerpiece
for this section was
Mendelssohn's "And Then
Shall Your Light Break Forth,"
celebrating the light of the Creator.

After a lengthy application
process, psychology professor
Myrla Seibold was recently appointed to the State Board of
Psychology by Governor
Ventura.
The Stale Board approves
and renews all clinical psychology licenses and investigates all
complaints.
"At any given time, there is
between two hundred and three
hundred complaints to investigate, so it's a very large task,"
said Seibold.
There was a new type of license instituted for those with
master's degrees in psychology
and the Board is slill refining the
rules for this program.
"It will help Bethel's
master's students because the
rules and curriculum guidelines
are governed by the Board and
I'll be there to keep our students new perspectives. "It will be good
abreast of the issues," Seibold to get a woman and a Christian on
said.
While she is on
the Board, she can
make rules so the license allows both independence and accountability.
"The master's
level license will not
allow its psychologists to practice independently," Seibold
said. "They must be
under some supervision, which means
the board so that the diversity of
views on ethics and
other issues can be
taken into account
when decisions are
made," Seibold
said.
She also hoped
the appointment
would help her'find
placement positions
for the Bethel sludents in the
master's program.
